Author Storytime: Owls Are Good at Keeping Secrets with Jacob Grant!

Posted By roscoebooks On Wednesday, 21 November 2018

You've never seen an alphabet book quite like this one before...Owls Are Good at Keeping Secrets highlights some previously-unknown "facts" about everyone's favorite animals, and is fun for kids both young and old. Please join us on Saturday, December 15th, as we welcome the book's illustrator, Jacob Grant, for a special storytime and drawing demonstration!

Did you know that chipmunks love to stay up past their bedtime? Or that dragons cry at happy endings? I bet you'd never have guessed that iguanas sometimes get homesick at sleepovers.

Sara O'Leary pulls back the curtain on the animal world and gives us an absolutely charming little one-line "fact" about one animal for each letter of the alphabet. Kids will love to see their own quirks reflected in these adorably rendered creatures, and perhaps will be comforted to know that--just like them--narwhals can be perfectly happy all on their own and quail also get tired of being told to be quiet.

This is more than just an alphabet book. It's a charming, hilarious, and touching look at the diversity of personalities in the world--worth many, many rereads.
